Mudiyono, a member of the Sido Rukun Farmer's Group in Padangan Hamlet, Ponjong District, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta stated that the rice yields in his area were caused by bird attacks that eat rice grains. Conventionally, farmers have been using nets and scarecrows. However, this method is considered less effective and efficient because farmers have to be on guard against bird pests that are very varied.
